Another obligatory "I am NOT dead" post
Jul. 29th, 2003 07:55 pmOK, so this Friday we go could possibly go up to Albuquerque Dad would want to leave Silver at 8 am and his meeting is done at 5, w/o us he would just come home, but he is willing to stay in a hotel while we stay at Ko's; he would want to leave Sat around 12--he says he doesn't NEED to know until Thursday afternoon but...
Also RAIN RAIN RAIN. Oh the beauty of it all.
Yesterday I had lunch with the Blakes who have just returned from a year in Africa. It was an interesting conversation. Steve Blake also brought embryos from a Mountain Lion that died in a little container full of alcohol etc. HE KEPT IT IN HIS POCKET. Science geeks are so weird. Indeed we are. We also talked about the Peace Corps, etc etc. It was pretty interesting.
Then immediately after I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean with another world traveler--Qai! Yayness. I really love Johnny Depp. He is so awesome.
I might--might--do an exchange program overseas nest year. And if so I'll probably be spending at least part of next summer in Europe too. Mom got a contract on a new book and she wants to go to Ireland for research. Travel companions? Anyone?
The Dana's name is Taj. Except I keep calling it Dana. It's getting rather entrenched in my mind. I wonder if I should just slur it to Damia or something in hopes that I will remember that.
Also, on my genealogy, I've found someone who has managed to trace my grandmother's mother's line back to the 1500s. All I can say is wow. I plan to e-mail him/her soon.
In todays' editorial column
One man had a long rant about the evils of Bush. He ended by saying that Bush is the most dangerous weapon of mass destruction. If he is ever inspected, they will find an empty war head.
The next man started (on a different topic) by saying that he likes bumper stickers. They tell you a lot about the people who own the car. For example, he has two; "A man with a gun is a citizen, a man without a gun is a subject" or something like that, and "Save Elk--Kill Wolves." He says that these tell you about his views on gun ownership, wolf reintroduction programs and the "public parasites" who run them. Indeed they do. But recently he has seen a bumper sticker that is stupid and mindless. It states "Fairness for the Mineless." Now, this man feels this is stupid because obviously whoever owns it feels that America should not have mines. And then where would we get cars and the material for bumper stickers, hmmm? Riiiiight. God knows thats how I read the statement. Oh yeah.
